Wu Gen sat motionless on Jiguan City, staring blankly at the grassland stretching to the horizon in the distance. It has been five days since we entered the city. Someone was responsible for searching the warehouses, appeasing the people, contacting the Lu family, etc. He rarely intervened and mostly stayed on the city wall every day.
It's not that Meng Zhuo's mansion in the city is uninhabitable, but Wu Gen always finds it suffocating to live in such a house. What's more, there are still Meng Zhuo's family members in the mansion. When he thinks of the delicate Meng Zhuo's inner room, Wu Gen has no good people. Because of his wife's hobby, he preferred to stay on the top of the city to enjoy the breeze, and did not even look at the other mansions Zhang Wuyang was looking for.
That night five days ago, he talked a lot with Meng Zhuo, and finally released him overnight. However, when Meng Zhuo left, he left behind the substitute who pretended to be him. This person was actually his official.
Meng Zhuo sent him back to the city with his private seal in hand, informing the government about the fearless army entering the city, and ordered the gates of the whole city to be opened wide, and no resistance was allowed.
In this way, the fearless army entered Jiguan City without any bloodshed, quickly took over the city defense and took control of the entire city.
During this period, Meng Shuo and others also secretly inquired about Meng Zhuo's whereabouts and the reason why his entry into the city was so smooth. Wu Gen only said that Jiguan City's heart was toward the Lu family, that he had already sent people here to recruit him, and that he offered the city to him on his own initiative. As for Meng Zhuo, he has disappeared.
For such reasons, Meng Shuo and others were doubtful, but Wu Gen was too lazy to explain. Believe it or not, just go and confront Meng Zhuo.
While they were thinking wildly, Meng Shuo and Meng Ling, who had changed their appearance, came to the top of the city and bowed to Wu Gen. Zhang Wuyang stepped forward and reminded him in a low voice, "Fortress leader, we are here."
"Okay." Wu Gen stood up with a knife in his hand and pointed to a table of food at the top of the city with a warm expression. "You two, you have been working hard these days. If you have nothing to do today, you might as well have a drink."
Meng Shuo and Meng Ling looked at each other, both a little panicked. Such a scene smelled like a farewell drink. Could it be that Wu Gen had changed his mind and wanted to attack him.
Seeing the doubts of the two of them, Wu Gen smiled and waved, holding their hands and sitting at the table, "You rich people, why do you have so many twists and turns in your stomach? I really want to say goodbye, but this time If I hadn't seen him off, my lives would not have been harmed."
After saying that, he summoned Baoxiang and Meng Shun, and the five of them were chatting about some rumors and drinking in front of the gray city and green plains in the beautiful city.
Meng Shuo and Meng Ling had something on their minds, but they still forced out a smile to keep them company. Who let their lives be in the hands of others? Now they are like phoenixes with no feathers, no better than chickens. It is possible to slip and fall off the city wall, or to be given to the Lu family.
After drinking for three rounds, Wu Gen put down his chopsticks and coughed twice, and the atmosphere at the table suddenly became solemn.
"The two city lords, when we took the city, we promised you that we would definitely save their lives. Wu Genjian will not break his promise, so he might as well send you two away today. Don't worry, where you are going will be safe. 2 You might as well lie dormant for a few years and come out again if the world situation changes." Wu Gen said with a smile.
"I don't know what the situation is like in Baiya City. Qianhu may be protecting Meng Qian." Meng Shun, who had been drinking silently, suddenly said.
Wu Gen looked stunned, but he smiled and drank another glass of wine. He is clearly aware of the situation in Baiya City, and a letter has been delivered today.
Meng Zhuo has been officially appointed as the new head of the Meng family, but the territory is much smaller. The only big cities that can be counted are Baiya City and Maple City where the five men of the Meng family live.
Originally, the Lu family was waiting for Meng Qi, the fifth son of the Meng family, to arrive in Baiya City before deciding on the head of the family. However, on the way to Baiya City, Meng Qi and his maid fell in love with Feng Dianluan at the post. If you cut off your tail, you will no longer be qualified to rule the Meng family.
The reason why Wu Gen has been standing still these days is, firstly, to wait for the Lu family to come over to take over Jiguan City, and secondly, to stabilize Meng Shuo and Meng Ling, and only send them away when the matter is a foregone conclusion.
As for the eldest son of the Meng family, Meng Qian, after burying his father, he was attracted by the head of the Lu family and was taken to Maojing City to become a civil servant.
"Meng Qian went to take care of the family head's funeral, so he couldn't even hope to come back smoothly. Even I couldn't do anything about it. To be honest, I took a huge risk to save the two of them. Fortunately, Meng Shuo was not exposed along the way. , I can say that he died in the rebellion and can no longer be found. But Meng Ling was actually included in the army.
, this cannot be hidden. If the Lu family wants someone from me in the future, I will still have to bear it. "Wu Gen shook his head and sighed.
Meng Shun's expression darkened, knowing that Wu Gen was telling the truth.
"I would like to stay in the Fearless Army." Meng Ling suddenly said and glanced at his uncle.
Meng Shun was startled and nodded heavily, "It's okay to stay here and be an ordinary soldier. Since the Lu family has retained the name of the Meng family, I won't embarrass you too much. What do you think, Qianhu?"
"Okay, that's it. Meng Ling stays, and Meng Shuo will come with me today. I guess someone from the Lu family will come to take over Jiguan City soon. After Meng Shuo goes, talk less and do more. There are all kinds of people hiding there. , I wonder if there will be another opportunity." Wu Gen decided to stay or stay for the two of them with just one word.
Early the next morning, Wu Gen asked Zhang Wuyang to drive a carriage and took Meng Shuo straight out of the city. After traveling for about fifty miles, the three of them arrived at a maple forest and stopped at a pavilion by the waterside.
When he arrived here, Wu Gen ignored him and entered the pavilion, looking around the railing.
Meng Shuo felt a little uneasy, so he stepped forward and asked softly: "Qianhu, is this person reliable?"
Wu Gen chuckled, "This person is an old friend of mine. If he is not reliable, there is really no reliable person in the world."
Zhang Wuyang's eyes lit up and he took two hurried steps, "Master, the captain of the water school is here."
"Not bad." Wu Gen smiled and looked into the distance expectantly, "Cong Yue doesn't worry about me waiting. I came here from Qinghuai City alone to help out. Isn't it useless? It just happened to let him use this The spiritual jade obtained from this battle was brought back together with Meng Shuo."
"Whenever the captain arrives, he must go and greet him." Zhang Wuyang was a little excited and turned his head to look around. When they were in Xingshan, these young people really learned a lot from Shui Congyue, and they respected this gentleman from the bottom of their hearts for his handsomeness, but also for his high level of cultivation.
"It should be coming soon." Wu Gen stood in the pavilion and flicked his finger on Zhang Wuyang's head. "He doesn't like the hustle and bustle, so just wait."
After less than a stick of incense, two horses came running from a distance. The leader of the white horse was Shui Congyue. Following him was the elusive Li Qi.
Wu Gen strode out of Liting, stepped forward and pulled the reins of Shui Congyue's mount, trying to help him dismount. Shui Congyue glared at him, got off the horse, and strode to the pavilion.
The big white horse also glanced at Wu Gen arrogantly, shook his head away, and walked aside to eat grass.
"Hey, even if you have such a bad temper, let's see if I can find a hundred mares to tire you out one day." Wu Gen angrily came to the pavilion and introduced Meng Shuo to Shui Congyue.
"I've seen Captain Shui, please take care of me in the future." Looking at this arrogant and extraordinary human man, Meng Shuo didn't dare to make any mistakes. You can't fake a person's temperament, and Wu Gen's flattering behavior just now made him dare not neglect it.
"Just follow me." Shui Congyue said calmly and ignored him again.
Meng Shuo quickly handed over his hand and said yes. Seeing that this man was aloof and arrogant, he had better be careful. Seeing that Wu Gen and Shui Congyue had something to talk about, he wisely withdrew.
"You have been away from Xingshan for a long time. Nothing will happen there, right?" The two sat down, and Wu Gen spoke first.
"It's okay for now, Yang Zheng and Hu Jia are watching. When will you return to Xingshan? It's not an option to continue like this. The Ji family is always watching and adding people in. As time goes by, I'm afraid no matter how hard the dam is, it will Water seepage." Shui Congyue frowned slightly, looking a little anxious.
Wu Gen thought for a while, clasped his fingers and said: "After this battle, I have some men and horses here. If we fight a few more times, it will not be a problem to gather seven or eight thousand men. In this way, I will tell Yang Zheng and let him Build some momentum in Hanlu City and stir up the situation as soon as possible, the road is almost paved."
"Is this person reliable? What are you going to let him do?" Shui Congyue glanced at Meng Shuo outside the pavilion.
"This man is quite well-behaved and can do things well. Let him follow Sun Hong." Wu Gen thought for a while and decided to let Meng Shuo handle military logistics.
"That Meng Shun is pretty good. He has made up for the shortcomings of the Fearless Army's infantry." Shui Congyue suddenly said.
Wu Gen felt a little proud
, it is really good if Shui Congyue can say that it is good. In order to make Meng Shun return, Wu Gen not only took in his two nephews, but also basically maintained the formation of the formation-breaking army. In this way, in addition to the boat division, the fearless army had both foot and cavalry, as well as open space.
As for those wolf soldiers, Wu Gen was ready to throw them all into the giant mastiff team. This thing looks powerful, but it can only be used as a surprise soldier, not a regular pawn.
Because wolves are difficult to tame, they eat a lot, require a lot of money, and it is difficult to replenish them after being damaged in battle. This is why other families do not set up wolf soldiers, and the Meng family only maintains more than a thousand people.
"By the way, bring the carriage with you when you go back. These are all the jade we collected from three cities. Thank you for your hard work in Xingshan. As long as you hold Ji Yan, our main body is still there, and even a little bit won't change it. Heaven." Wu Gen pointed to the carriage outside the pavilion.
Shui Congyue was slightly startled. Is Wu Gen scraping the ground? Why did he get so many spiritual jade? In fact, he guessed right. Wu Gen had done nothing these days, so he ordered three cities to block the city gates and did this. Why didn't Niu Chao behave in front of Wu Gen in the past two days? It was because Wu Gen sent him to do this.
This kid's nose is as sharp as a dog's. Ever since he learned about the value of spiritual jade, he has been keen to collect them. Let him do this and make full use of his talents.
The three big cities occupied by Wu Gen have been in turmoil in the past few days. This thing is only available in the homes of those dignitaries. Taking their jade is tantamount to killing them, and many riots have occurred one after another. Wu Gen didn't care about this. Anyway, these three cities were going to be handed over to the Lu family, and the mess was left to them to clean up.
"The war here is over, and I have to go back. Take care." Shui Congyue paused, and then said with some uneasiness: "I found someone spying on you these days. Your cultivation level should be not low, so be careful in everything. , to prevent the other party from using any dirty tricks."
Wu Gen was stunned and nodded heavily.
